5 answers
The price of coffee is the dependent variable and the amount of coffee is the independent variable.
What is the constant of proportionality
To find the constant of proportionality, we can use the formula:
constant of proportionality = (change in dependent variable) / (change in independent variable)
Let's calculate the changes in price and amount of coffee:
Change in price = 30.00 - 7.50 = 22.50
Change in amount of coffee = 4 - 1 = 3
Now, we can find the constant of proportionality:
constant of proportionality = 22.50 / 3 = 7.50
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 7.50.
constant of proportionality = (change in dependent variable) / (change in independent variable)
Let's calculate the changes in price and amount of coffee:
Change in price = 30.00 - 7.50 = 22.50
Change in amount of coffee = 4 - 1 = 3
Now, we can find the constant of proportionality:
constant of proportionality = 22.50 / 3 = 7.50
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 7.50.
